[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My niece was lured to HC by a full ride and the promise of a 3-2 program where she could transfer to a top engineering program after three years.  I tried to talk her out of it as she had better options for engineering school, but she was stubborn and really thought she wanted a small, catholic school experience.  [b]The 3-2 program turned out to be a bait-and-switch; very few students actually transfered to the engineering school and there were like 50 of them competing for 2-3 spots.[/b] I don't know why anyone would take this over a four-year, guaranteed enginering program.

She transfered out after one year. HC was VERY small, little to no diversity, little to no opportunities for clubs, ativities, etc.  Plus Wooster is a miserable town. She ended up at a much larger, highly-ranked state school and is so happy there.  Totally different experience for sure which goes to show that kids don't always know what they want at 18.  [/quote]
Physics represents the natural major for pre-engineering and Holy Cross graduated 12 physics majors in a recent year. Based on this, it's unclear to me who the ~50 aspirants to a 3-2 engineering program might have been.[/quote]
